But last night the two were at the centre of their adopted family as they celebrated the Jewish festival of Passover. Along with older siblings Lourdes and Rocco, their mother Madonna and her boyfriend Jesus Luz, the family arrived at the Kabbalah Centre in London. Although baptised a Catholic, Madonna is a devotee of the faith, which follows Jewish teachings. The family dressed in black and white for the outing, with 14-year-old Lourdes in a typically fashionable ensemble. They are spending a week in London, before flying to Malawi to celebrate Easter.Madonna won custody of Mercy last year - three years after first falling for the child on a visit to the African country. The adoption caused controversy after Mercy's Christian father objected. It was initially rejected by the courts, before finally being approved. Now Madonna hopes seeing Mercy at the centre of her happy family unit will win over her birth relatives. She is planning a lunch where Mercy and David'can proudly show off their dance skills and meet their relatives.' A source told the Sun: 'She promised to take them back to their homeland. She sees it as vital they understand their roots.'Mercy's meeting with her family will be particularly emotional as it's the first time she's seen them since last summer.'Madonna will also lay the foundation stone to mark the foundation of a girl's academy she has founded.
